Backward scheduling involves building the logical sequence of activities backwards from the deadline, while forward scheduling starts with the logical sequence and works forward until reaching the given deadline. Both methods aim to determine the optimal schedule and sequencing of activities to meet a given project deadline.

1. Forward / Backward scheduling
Backward Schedule: build the logical
sequencing of activities backwards
by starting from the deadline
Forward Schedule: starting with the
logical sequencing until you
hit the given deadline.
